I’m not prepared to accept that a really good manager like Hill can just lose all his abilities. It is illogical.
You should have seen what Tranmere fans said about him. Playing players out of position for no real reason and tactically inept was just two. We all saw evidence of this last season. I must admit that some of his decision making was completely bonkers and made little to no sense.
Tranmere fans actually cheered when he went. I remember one of their fans laughing when we signed Hill on twitter and went on to explain people were getting pissed off with Hill playing one of their LB’s in CM and a RB at CB when they had no previous experience in even playing in those positions.
The fan in question said it was only when he went and they got in a manager who actually played the players where they were supposed to be played that they started to progress.
Keith Hill did well at Rochdale signing bargain bin basement players fuelled with the “everybody are against us” siege mentality. Hill always has played ultra simplistic, direct football. I’ve never seen a silky Keith Hill side.
Another thing which was said by the same fan was that he over emphasis work rate and “passion” over every thing else. That was also apparent last season.
I was the first person to credit the club in signing Keith Hill but I was another who was suckered in by his Rochdale days but when you look beyond that he’s dubious to say the least. I quickly began to realise that the Tranmere fan knew what the crack was.
Do I think he’s the one for us ?. No I don’t !
Hill will stay though while ever Swann is hanging around like a bad smell. I want both the Swann clan and Hill throwing out.
